Description
Morphology
Short regular gallery of 1.20 x 1 m with smooth walls. Chaotic end of large blocks resulting from the displacement of the rock and the origin of the cavity.
Speleothems
Slight concretion forms.
History
It appears on the ICGC map, probably from a mention that appears on the Cultural Heritage page of the Diputació de Barcelona and provided by members of the Grup de Recerca Olesa Rural who found it around the year 2005 approximately.
Toponymy: We think the word bancarrassos is a metathesis of barrancassos.
